The Story

Semisweet is a film that links stories of characters from across three continents who are connected solely by one simple thing: chocolate. It’s a story told through the personal journeys and lives of extraordinary characters. And, although their paths have never directly crossed, their lives are interwoven through that very unique and personal relationship with chocolate.
